Key research themes

1. How does hybrid and multiplatform development address cost and deployment challenges in mobile app creation?

This research area explores hybrid app development methodologies, which combine web technologies with native shell capabilities to enable cross-platform deployment. Hybrid development aims to reduce costs, technical barriers, and development time while maximizing device API access and app store distribution advantages. It matters because traditional native development requires distinct programming skills and incurs high investments to support multiple operating systems.

Key finding: This paper empirically demonstrates that hybrid development frameworks such as PhoneGap allow write-once codebases using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to deploy on multiple mobile platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc.)... Read more
Key finding: Introduces MobAppGen, a web-based modular development framework enabling rapid assembly of mobile applications with high-level abstractions that hide device specifics. It addresses common duplicated code issues and reduces... Read more
Key finding: Although focusing on backend infrastructure, this paper contextualizes hybrid apps' scalability needs by comparing cloud service providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) offering serverless and function-as-a-service models.... Read more

2. What is the current landscape and sector-specific utilization of mobile applications across industries, and how does app functionality align with industry needs?

This theme investigates the distribution, categorization, and impacts of mobile apps within specific industry sectors such as construction, tourism, and education. It focuses on how apps are functionally aligned with domain-specific tasks (e.g., measurement, site management, information dissemination) and how they enhance operational efficiency, user engagement, and knowledge transfer. Understanding this alignment is vital for app development prioritization and domain adoption.

Key finding: This literature-based categorization identifies 136 construction-related apps organized into 11 operational groups. Top categories include design and drawing, measurement and estimation, and management apps, reflecting... Read more
Key finding: The study develops a comprehensive travel mobile app targeting Selangor's domestic tourism, integrating databases, location services, offline functionality, and personalized features (e.g., weather forecasts, event listings,... Read more

3. How can mobile web and native applications be leveraged to support specialized domain tasks such as job searching and academic performance monitoring?

This theme looks at app development tailored toward specific user segments or purposes—particularly in supporting underrepresented communities in job searching and facilitating academic self-assessment through responsive web technologies. The central research question concerns designing and validating mobile tools that meet niche user needs, improve accessibility, and provide actionable insights in real-world contexts.

Key finding: The app fills an identified market gap by addressing job seekers with diploma-level education or less, a segment underserved by existing solutions. Utilizing prototyping methodology and React Native, the application offers... Read more
Key finding: This study develops a responsive mobile web application that visualizes individual student academic performance by integrating knowledge profiles aligned with program outcomes and cumulative GPA. Using cohort data from... Read more
